I haven't seen most of these movies, but I'm surprised to see some titles here, most particularly Pocahontas and Ferngully.

Are these bad animated movies in the sense that the movies overall are bad (writing, story, voice acting) or that they are badly animated?

Anything by Dingo Pictures. In fact nearly all their movies are shoestring-budget blatant knockoffs of popular or famous Disney or Don Bluth movies like The Lion King and the Land Before Time, respectively. One of their most infamous movies is Animal World Soccer. It's ripped off from a scene in the Disney Movie Bedknobs and Broomsticks where live-action human actors play a soccer game with animated animals, except there aren't any humans and it's all "animated". The voice acting sounds like one or two very bored Dutch or German people and most of it is just the characters gathering up other animals for the game while this annoying "suspense" music is played in a never-ending loop.

The animated Titanic movies (both of them). And yet I've actually watched one of them at least a couple of times because I've clearly got some bile fascination with it. They rip off characters from so many Disney and Don Bluth movies it's a wonder they didn't get sued - there are two adult dalmatians just like Perdy and Pongo, some geese from the Aristocats, a mouse family from An American Tale, the female protagonist and her family are just like Disney's Cinderella and her family. And there even are stereotypical Mexican mice like in Speedy Gonzales. We don't ever see anyone actually die when the ship finally sinks, although it's implied that it happened, and it's like they gave the real-life victims a giant middle finger. Oh and there's A RAPPING DOG in the movie, how could I forget?! The other version is possibly even worse because it claims the people on the ship didn't die at all that was just nonsense, and that a giant stupid octopus with a face like a teddy bear threw an iceberg at the Titanic because some evil sharks tricked him. And then there's the sequel to that second movie...

-Felix the Cat (the reason they made drugs illegal is so movies like this wouldn't be made)

-The Great American Rabbit (never let a greeting card company make a movie)

- The Land Before Time sequels

- Charlotte's Web 2 (based on the original animated movie)

- Pocahontas 2

- The Hunchback of Notre Dame 2

- Puss N' Boots (no, not the Dreamworks Puss *In* Boots, it's a French movie with the title character in the English dub being voiced by William Shatner, of all people! But he doesn't just do the voice for Puss, however, he actually made up a voice that sounds something like a very stoned Winnie-the-Pooh.)

- Noel. In case you don't know, it's a Christmas movie about a red glass ball that gets a tear of joy enclosed within him, and then he comes to life and says over and over "MY NAME IS NOEL AND I HAVE A HAPPINESS!!" The other ornaments he's packed in with are also inexplicably alive, but they're mean and cranky and insult him, but he still thinks of them as friends, and they don't seem to enjoy being Christmas Decorations either. The Mysterious Mr. Enter has it on his Admirable Animations playlist (which I've never watched), but Phelan Porteous reviewed it last year and the movie just seemed too weird and kind of depressing - every year after New Year's Day the sentient non-artificial Christmas tree that Noel becomes friends with gets dragged away to possibly be chopped up and burned while he's tearfully forced to watch, and at the end the other ornaments are so cracked and brittle from age he cries as he has to see them get thrown away while they beg to be hung on the tree. Shortly after that things get REALLY freaky in the movie, but I've said too much already.

-The Christmas Tree. Seeing it had basically been a good teaching tool about how *not* to make a holiday- themed movie.

-Eight Crazy Nights: ditto.

The other day I saw a review of Dingo Picture's version of Anastasia. And it was so bad it was hilarious. They actually have what looks like a poorly-traced model of the Don Bluth Anastasia, but she's not Anastasia in Dingo's movie. She's not a "she" either. He's a guy with a voice that doesn't fit his appearance at all and becomes Dingo's Anastasia's romantic interest. It was just... awkward.

Not long ago I saw a video with fan art of what the Disney Princesses would look like if they were male, but they looked excellent. Man-astasia was just weird and creepy.

And yes, I've seen that Snow White and the 7 Clever Boys cartoon. Not only are they being blatantly racist (although it not have been intentional as some countries are not as aware of what's PC in North America), but instead of being sweet and innocent and clearly a victim of the queen's jealously like Disney's Snow White, Dingo's Snow White has a huge ego and sings a stupid song about the queen being jealous of her. It actually makes you feel sorry for the queen instead. Maaaan!

The Lord of the Rings movie from the 1970's they never even finished the ending lol.
